It was actually yesterday, but I wasn't in the right frame of mind to post about it then!

I was on my way to work after my morning swim. There are 3 lanes heading up to the traffic lights and when the right hand lane gets to the traffic lights, it splits into 2 lanes of traffic turning right and the left two lanes go straight on towards Trent Bridge.

Just as I was getting up to the lights to turn right, a skoda octavia (DA63 UHR) came from the left hand lane, cut across both of the right hand lanes and stopped at the lights to turn right. It was a d!ckish move, he cut me and the red car to my right up and forced us both to slam our brakes on to avoid hitting him and I was quite cross about it, but I'm not really one for road rage....

The people in the car beside me however went absolutely ballistic!! I've never seen anything like it, they both had their windows rolled down, screaming obscenities and gesticulating out of the windows, even though the guy in the skoda seemed totally unphased!! For the entire time we were sitting at the red light, they were absuing him out of their car! <!--emo&:o--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='ohmy.gif' /><!--endemo--> I was really quite shocked.

When the lights changed to green again, skoda octavia guy started off really slowly, held up his entire line of traffic (including the red-car-of-abuse) and then just as the lights changed to red he nipped through, leaving the red-car-of-abuse stuck at the lights for another rotation!! <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Wow, just Wow! I've never seen such a clear-cut run of road-stupidity, road-rage and road-revenge all in one episode!! It was truly epic and I am really glad I don't know either of the people in the red-car-of-abuse!!! <!--emo&:mmm:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/mmm.png' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mmm.png' /><!--endemo-->

<div class='signature'>"Why do the people who know the least, know it the loudest?"

Got a call out to a lady with a cold on Monday night.
We were the third ambulance she'd called since noon the day before.....
She had a cold.
She had been discharged by the OOH GP three hours before we saw her.....
She had a cold.
She was complaining of not being able to swallow, but drank a glass of water with her paracetamol.....
She had a cold.
She was also complaining of shaking uncontrollably, but only when she was thinking about it......
She had a cold.
There was nothing wrong with her.....
She had a cold.
She wanted us to take her to hospital and was quite upset that we couldn't find anything life-threatening!

Almost as silly as the lady with the headache and the man with the hurty thumb!!
I have just realised that this entire forum subject is entirely a place for my job!! :aha:
